Bytecode similarity to audited upstream with behavior deviation

Evidence summary #

Venus is a documented fork of Compound v2 — bytecode similarity to upstream is intentional and documented. Divergences (Diamond Comptroller, Isolated Pools, Prime) represent genuine architectural evolution, not deceptive near-copies. No bytecode-deviation finding in any audit report.

Methodology #

Determine whether the bytecode has high structural similarity to an audited upstream but deviates in state-mutation ordering (AI-generated copy risk pattern).
